Ariel_1098
When emergency vet tech Mara is forced out of vet school after being diagnosed with an auditory processing disorder, her world shatters. Burned out, betrayed, and exhausted from constantly being the one who helps, she quietly tries to end her life. But survival lands her in a psychiatric facility, where silence is heavy and healing feels impossible. Then she meets Theo, a former trauma therapist with his own scars. Neither wants to connect, but in their shared wreckage, a fragile thread forms. The Quiet Shift is a raw, unflinching story about burnout, invisible battles, and the brutal, beautiful moments where healing quietly begins.
